08:07Shooters, Fishers and Farmers NSW state director, Filip Despotoski, has said that his party will run someone in the New England by-election “if we find a great candidate ... but we won’t run someone just for the sake of it if we don’t”. He points out the party has run in federal elections but this is the first time since they added “and Farmers” to their name. The party did not run in New England in the 2016 election but gave the Nationals a fright in the NSW seat of Murray by-election earlier in October.
